Summary, Ok, but would not pick this place if I wanted a nice meal out
The location is great, although the views of Perth in summer are almost completely lost behind the plain trees.
On the plus side the food was excellent, nicely cooked tasty food. The whole 2 sizes for most dishes is a nice touch also.
On the other side this place feels commercial, advertisements in the menu are just to much and not at all in keeping with the place trying to be up market. The lack of pricing on the cocktails in an interesting strategy also. At $15 each perhaps they are just to ashamed to put the price down, especially for mediocre cocktails. Do people really not notice?
The lack of service is the biggy here. I know I talk about this a lot in Perth, but when you are spending $100 each ($1,000+ between 10 of us on this occasion) I would really like my water glass filled reasonably regularly without having to ask. We where told specifically that we could not have water on the table, we had to be waited on so wait we did. Why do they think that stupid rules will bring me back here again? The service did improve as the evening progressed. Perhaps they are just to busy at the start of the evening. On looking around I realized there are a lot of wait staff so the poor early service is not readily explainable. Whatever the reason this needs fixing, along with removing ads from the menu.
In summary the food saves the day for these guys.
